ActionScript 2.0 :: Photo Slideshow Using XML And Flash
Mar 27, 2006
I want to be able to use the slideshow function when called from a button. I take it that this would be a simple case of calling the function onRelease or something similar... Also on a slightly different though smei related point, I am setting up a gallery using the XML gallery though am going to be using multiple gallery options so that once a user has chosen a gallery set it will load the appropriate XML file...

I'm currently trying to beef up one of the websites I run, and make a better image slideshow for the gallery page. Currently... I have this page for my own website, with the lightbox effect installed correctly. The effect is very nice:When you click on an image, it loads it into focus on top of the page. This is also possible using flash.. using lightbox++. I hope one of you knows of this My question to you is... I want a page that loads the pictures via an xml file, and have the thumbs loaded, and each of those thumbs setup to load the full size version when you click on it.

I have been using the tutorial on the Photo Slideshow Using XML and Flash, and think it is fantastic. It is really clear and easy to follow. However I have encoutered three things with it. Firstly I would love to be able to add a border around each thumbnail accross the bottom, that would change color when the user rolls over the thumbnail.I would also like to be able to highlight which thumbnail is currently being shown as the top image.The third issue I have had is when a user moves the mouse to the right of the first image, it scrolls about 5 pixels to the right even though there is no other image before it.

Hello All,
I have made a photo slideshow following exactly the following page:[URL]..It works very fine in my local computer. But, after I uploaded the files (SWF, XML, JPGs) to server it does not work well. Some photos are loaded, some not. There is no problem in path settings in XML. All images are in the same folder. Moreover, the photos are not same which loads sometimes, sometimes not. For example, I can see that photo no. 1, 3, 5, 9 are loaded and rest are not loaded. Again, if I visit the page/slideshow after some times, photo no. 1, 4, 6, 8 are loaded, rest not.
Is there any way to force the SWF to load all the images one by one and not to skip an image.
Even, if I visit the tutorial page [URL].._slideshow.htm I can see that the example SWF file given at the starting of the tutorial is doing the same behavior as that of mine. For example, right now I can see that the slideshow in this page is stopped at the image "Boston" (image no. 8/10) and it skipped the image "Dome" (image no. 6/10). Sometimes, it will stop at another image and may be, skip another image.

I am trying to use the "simple photo album" template that comes with Flash Prof. CS5. I have it working except I want it to play by default. The actionscript that came with the template is below (in blue), but if I set var autoStart:Boolean = true; I get the following error and the controls do not work:

Flash slideshow by getting it to preload the next photo (from a folder of numbered jpgs) when the current photo is done loading, but I can't quite get it worked out and I'm not sure what I'm missing... What I thought I might try is to have two movie clips to hold photos, one on the stage and one off the stage.
I would load the current photo into the movie clip on the stage(pictures.slides) and when that finishes I would load the next photo in the movie clip off the stage (pictures.preloadNextPhoto) so that it would already download the image and would load faster when the user clicks "Next". It doesn't work. I won't load the whole script in here, but this is the movieloader function with the meat of the functionality:

I really like this automated slide show tutorial using xml. However, I'm looking for help on why when using a modem connection the file loads the first image and stalls (out of the box, no modifications to the file at this point). I refresh the screen and it starts over and loads the first image and then the second image and stalls again. This stall occurs for each subsequent image until all images are loaded. I did try adding a preloader function in the fla file ... I tired loading the images using a JavaScript array in the body of the html page.
I read all the optimization help file information and help on publishing settings. I tried various published settings with compression, with compression. Tried different fps settings etc. I'm using MX. Downloaded trial versions of MX 2004 and MX 2004 Professional and still not working, as I would like it to on dialups.I have a similar version that is dynamically loading images but is using text files to load the variables. I am very interesting in this one because is uses xml. I tried clipping out the xml code and used it in my other file and I get the same result.

I need to create a photo slideshow which runs automatically (I don't want any "back" or "next" buttons - there is to be no user interface), with the photos fading in and out, one after the other, and music in the background.
I have external .jpg files that I need to have load, one after the other, into their own movie clips (I have 5 different movie clips which I would like to alternate between my .jpgs) and stay on the stage for a set amount of time (3 seconds for some, 5 seconds for some, etc.).
I figured out how to get 1 image to load into a movie clip with the below code:
var image:Loader = new Loader ();
image.load( new URLRequest ("pic1.jpg"));
blankMC.addChild (image);
However I don't know the code to force this movie clip to only play for a set amount of time, and, unload from the stage, and then load a new movieclip.
if not, is there a way for me to accomplish this without using XML (which I have no clue how to do . . .)

I'm trying to modify Kirupa's xml photo slideshow by adding an extra text field, which if I understand correctly gives each element 3 children (image+text1+text2) instead of 2 (image+text). Even though I've added the third child correctly in the xml, I can't seem to get it to work at all. Here is what I did with the actionscript:
delay = 10000;
//-----------------------
function loadXML(loaded) {
if (loaded) {
[code]....
I've highlighted the parts I've added to the code provided by kirupa's tutorial. sub_text is the instance name I give to the new text field in Flash.

I'm looking to create a slideshow that needs to automatically advance, with each slide having 2 pictures and a short text description, each which would be unique for each slide. The file name for the pictures and description are contained in this xml, currently my XML file has the tags in the format <pic1> location.jpg </pic1>, each grouped for the slide they both need to be on.

Making a photo slideshow to load as an external movie clip on my site when a button is pushed. Here is a link to the .swf file: [URL]. There is text that describes each set of 6 pictures. After the set of 6 pictures plays through the text is supposed to disappear and a new text appears to label the next set of 6 pictures. Problem is: the text doesn't disappear! I made all the text layers a symbol/movie clip. I animated each text to disappear at a certain point in the timeline but when I test the movie the texts just remain there and build up one after the other. When watching the movieclip, pay attention to the text in the lower left screen.

I'm using a version of XML Slideshow Photogallery that loads slideshow.swf (and other pages) into master.swf. It plays good the first time through and when I trace myInterval, I can see it increment 1,2,3 ... with each slide. When I go to another page and then come back to the slideshow - the myInterval will skip a couple or I get 2 values at the same time. This causes the slideshow to display every other image (or every 3, etc). I can see that the problem is from not clearing the myInterval variable properly. The clearInterval(myInterval); function seems to just clear the last instance created. Is there a way to clear all instances?

how can I modify the embedded photo gallery slideshow from Google's Picasa to auto repeat the pictures, i.e. play them over and over again? This is the code Picasa gives me for embedding in a website:
<embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://picasaweb.google.com/s/c/bin/slideshow.swf" width="400" height="267" flashvars="host=picasaweb.google.com&hl=en_US&feat=flashalbum&RGB=0x000000&feed=http%3A%2F
[Code].....
Related to this, are there free tools that take as input a Picasa username or a set of photos and automatically create a thumbnailed gallery, which is embeddable using Flash in any website?
